Dr. Raab assisted The National Energy Policy Initiative (NEPI)in its completion of an assessment of the views and interests of 75 key constituencies on energy policy goals, policies, and pending legislation as well as the potential for building consensus. He also facilitated a workshop of 22 distinguished energy experts who built on the assessment and developed points of consensus on a vision, strategy, and set of potential energy policies for consideration by national energy stakeholders, the Congress, and the Administration. The experts met during an intensive, weekend-long facilitated retreat. Raab Associates worked with the Consensus Building Institute and the Rocky Mountain Institute on this ground-breaking project. The final Report is available, as are the issues assessment, the list of participants and the list of interviewees.
